I'm running Fedora 21 on a Dell M3800 laptop, been working
great.
Updating to the latest kernel however breaks my external display
i.e. I plug the external monitor in and nothing happens, previous to the
update when I plug in the external monitor
the system would auto configure the second screen and I could use both
monitors.
I've googled the issue but not found anything.
Thoughts?
Several thoughts come to mind...
1. What desktop are you using? GNOME. KDE, xfce, something else?
2. Did you try going back to a working kernel?
3. It seems as if you're saying you've booted without the monitor attached and
plug it in later? Yes? If so, have you tried booting with the monitor already attached?
Or, attaching the monitor and then logging out/in?
